New look to the blog, some new apps and sites (Twitter, Yammer and Classroom 2.0) Here’s what’s been on my mind lately:
- How do you balance innovation with standardization in a school? You want to have and encourage innovative teachers but there does need to be a common experience for students both across sections and across courses within a school.
- Cloud services – huge wave hitting IT across industries… where is it going and how will schools ultimately benefit from them?
- Google Apps For Education vs. Microsoft Live @ EDU – both are very attractive offerings for schools (especially considering the price tag). What’s the better offering? Will one win out?
- Frictionless collaboration – see this amazing post by Andy McAfee (a blog on Web 2.0 worth following) for more details
- Microblogging tools like Twitter and Yammer- how can these change / improve collaboration within an organization?
I have more questions than answers these days but hopefully over the next while I can post some thoughts and results from my ongoing research.
